To Mets fans, it was a painful reminder of what might have been. But to Jim Duquette, Alex Rodriguez saying on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” that he regretted not coming to the Mets in the 2000-01 offseason is pure fiction.
“It’s just revisionist stuff. Come on. Stop it,” the team’s former general manager said Monday on MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM.
Rodriguez, a Mets fan growing up who idolized Keith Hernandez, signed a 10-year contract worth $252 million with the Rangers after flirting with the Mets.
